Jeff Conine a Met?

According to Mr. Rosenthal, the Mets are close to landing Jeff Conine in exchange for two class A position players. A rumor floating around during the trade deadline was A+ OF Sean Henry and A+ SS Jose Castro, which in my opinion, would be too much to give up for a righty bat off the bench.

Stay tuned.

Update 5:52pm: Deal Done. Henry and Castro for Conine. My thoughts:

Meh.

The upside here is what? We couldn't just carry 3 catchers in the playoffs? Especially since our pitching staff should be 11 and not 12.
